Proverbs 11:7
When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes; all he expected from his power comes to nothing. NIV
What I love about this verse, this reminder, is … well, what it doesn’t say. To me, this verse implies the opposite of what it says.
“Righteous” (or “redeemed”) is the opposite of “wicked.”
“Is gloriously fulfilled,” is the opposite of “perishes.”
“God’s power” is the opposite of “his power.”
“Everything” is the opposite of “nothing.”
When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes; all he expected from his power comes to nothing. TRUE.
But, when I take the opposites of this truth, I find another: When a redeemed man dies, his hope is gloriously fulfilled; all he expected from God’s power comes to everything.
That’s what I’ll think about today.
